People who have taken the time to learn to communicate in a different language are competent. From my experience with my family which for some members English is not their first language, it surprises me when people see it as a negative. That it is a hinderance to speak in a broken tone. It is interesting to see that competence in communication changes on the different spaces you are in. It fascinates me because it is visible in many different places.

When moving to a new town I noticed how much harder it was to thrive in the various social situations. Any attempt I didn't make was detrimental to my health. Once i made connections the improvement was visible. I find it helpful to know this information is proven to benefit us as humans. Yes, for our survival, but also allowing us to live fulfilled and complete lives.

In certain situations where public communication was present I struggle a bit. I have participated in theatre and I have no problem presenting myself in front of an audience. However in front of my english class it felt different. I realize now that because I was telling stories to people, there was a personal connection present. In english class I didn't make a connection. Now i know making that more comfortable link to people I do not know will benefit the way i communicate publicly.

I find myself using forms of intrapersonal communication in places like the dentist office. I arrive early and check in and then sit down pondering upon many things like what i'll do for the rest of my day. Other places could include waiting in line at the movie theater. It indeed does help pass time, and i find it interesting that we as human collectively do this. Learning that intrapersonal communication is used by all makes me feel more knowledgeable about our society.

The act of theatrical improv is a form of public speaking in an entertaining way. An actor presenting in front of an audience and shaping the show around what pops into their head. They might ask several audience members for different situations and come up with an amusing scene. This makes the audience feel connected and encourages further participation. This practice is beneficial and a positive form of communication.
